Chapter 263
Niu Youdao was silent, and after a week of qi recovery, Fang slowly opened his eyes and said: "Don't make a fuss, a little injury, it's not bad if you come back alive."
Thinking of the situation when he was chased and killed by that tall and thin man before, and thinking of the situation where the tall and thin man killed or injured more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators with just one move, he still felt a little lingering in his heart.
He thought that the mastermind behind the scenes would put him to death, but he never expected that a master of this level would be dispatched to deal with him.
"What's going on?" Black Peony asked.
Niu Youdao didn't explain this for the time being, and asked her to take water to rinse her mouth. After getting rid of the bloody smell in her mouth, she raised her hand to untie the cloak on her body, handed it to Hei Mudan, went out of the small room, took off the sword on her waist, put it on the sword stand, and asked: "Is Linghu Qiu back?"
Hanging the cloak back on the wall, Hei Mudan walked back and forth and said, "Just after you walked for a while, he came back and came to look for you, and his expression was a bit abnormal. I asked you to go to him when you come back, saying that he has something to look for you."
Niu Youdao walked to the window, watched the silence for a while, and said slowly: "It's still the same sentence, logically speaking, Linghu Qiu is not enough to deter the mysterious force, but this time he attacked me, but he transferred Linghu Qiu away in advance... It seems that there is indeed a problem with going to Qingshan County to find me, and the follow-up along the way. Even if Linghu Qiu has nothing to do with the mysterious force, he probably knows something."
Hei Mudan reached out to grab his pulse, cast a spell to check his injuries, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked: "If this is the case, Linghu Qiu must have a plan for you, but what is the plan?"
Niu Youdao sighed: "Yes! This is what I can't figure out. What can he plan for me? What is there in me that is worthy of his plan?"
Black Peony: "Don't think about this for now, you are so dirty, I will prepare hot water for you, you can soak in it, take a good rest, and we will talk about everything after the injury is healed."
Niu Youdao turned back and asked, "Didn't you say that you are doing well and you want to sleep with me tonight?"
Hei Mudan rolled her eyes, "I don't believe you can't listen to good words, and you're not being honest when you're injured...I won't do things like throwing yourself into your arms and making people look down on you."
Niu Youdao said in a loud voice: "Backbone!"
Hei Mudan snorted and said: "I don't know you guys, I'm by your side every day, and you will always have a bloody moment when you just can't hold it back, I'll wait for you to take the initiative!"
Niu Youdao chuckled, and changed the topic, "Don't wash it yet, Linghuqiu is looking for me, I want to see what tricks he wants to play, you go to Gongsun Buna first, and bring that head."
"The head?" Hei Mudan was a little puzzled, but still took the order and left.
After taking the things, the two came to Linghuqiu's room and knocked on the door.
Hongxiu opened the door, seeing Niu Youdao, seemed a little surprised, hurriedly opened the door completely, please come in, and at the same time turned around and shouted, "Sir, Master Dao is here."
Linghu Qiu walked out quickly from the room, and looked at Niu Youdao up and down.
"Brother, I heard you have something to ask me?" Niu Youdao smiled and cupped his hands.
Linghu Qiu patted him on the shoulder and led him into the room. After he sat down, he seemed to blame him, "Don't you know that you have many enemies? Do you know that it's dangerous for you to run out alone? What's the matter with the dust on your body?"
"It's my fault that I made my brother worry." Niu Youdao made an apology first, then shook his head and sighed: "But I really got what my brother said, something happened."
Linghu Qiu looked serious, and asked: "What happened?"
Niu Youdao: "Someone pretended to be the shopkeeper of Liuxianzong, and his disguise technique could confuse the real one with the fake one. He deceived me, lured me out of the Boundless Pavilion, and then killed me. It's pure luck to come back alive to see my brother!"
Linghu Qiu secretly scolded the bitch in his heart, with a sullen face, he asked knowingly: "Do you know who did it?"
Niu Youdao: "This matter is strange. I don't know any of the murderers, and I wonder who did it. I'm going to ask my brother for advice."
Linghuqiu: "How to say?"
Niu Youdao turned around and beckoned, "Show me, brother."
Hei Mudan, who carried a cloth bag, stepped forward, put the cloth bag on the table, and untied the cloth bag, revealing a head. She took a second look, but didn't recognize it. She turned the head and faced Linghu Qiu.
Niu Youdao paid attention to Linghu Qiu's reaction.
Seeing the head's face, Hong Xiu and Hong Fu looked at each other with surprise in their eyes, Linghu Qiu stared at the head, his lips gradually tightened.
Niu Youdao looked at his words and asked: "This person is very powerful. The most powerful person I have ever seen before is Bai Yao from Tianyumen, but Bai Yao is probably inferior to this person. It is the first time I have seen such a powerful master since I was a hut. I think this person is not an unknown person. I wonder if my brother knows him?"
Linghuqiu remained silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly, "I know this person, I have met him once!"
Niu Youdao snorted, and immediately asked, "I don't know what kind of expert he is?"
Linghuqiu shook his head: "This man's name is Zhuo Chao, he has no sect, and like us, he is also a casual cultivator, but he is not an ordinary casual cultivator. Eight hundred golden pills are famous all over the world, and those who can enter the top three hundred of the alchemy list can almost be regarded as top-notch masters in the world. Zhuo Chao is ranked 267th in the alchemy list, and his strength can be imagined."
Excellent? Two hundred and sixty-seven? Niu Youdao wrote it down silently, then nodded and said, "No wonder."
Hei Mudan on the side was terrified when he heard that, the master among the top 300 in the alchemy list?
Although many masters may not be on the Dan list, the masters who are on the Dan list must be genuine and tested.
She could imagine how terrifying it would be to meet such a character, and now she could somewhat understand why Niu Youdao said that it would be good to come back alive.
Linghu Qiu asked strangely: "Does my brother have any grudges against him? A person with his level of strength will not do things for a small amount of money. How could he take action against you, brother?"
Niu Youdao: "I don't know, I don't know him before, it's the first time I heard about him, so how could I have any grudges?"
"No!" Linghu Qiu shook his head and pointed to the head, "With Zhuo Chao's strength, if he wants to attack you, you may be doomed. How could you sit here and sacrifice his head? It's not that I belittle my brother, I'm afraid that a bunch of brothers together are unlikely to be his opponent."
Niu Youdao said with a smile: "As my elder brother said, I have many enemies. Since I dare to come out and walk around, how can I be unprepared. Zhuo Chao is not the only one who attacked me, and there are four Jindan monks. None of them escaped, and all of them have been given heads!"
He didn't say that two people were still alive.
The room was quiet, everyone looked at him, Linghu Qiu tried to ask, "Is there anyone else here?"
Niu Youdao: "There are three groups of people secretly accompanying and protecting along the way."
Linghuqiu shook his head: "Forgive me, even if the three sects of Liuxianzong come out, it will be difficult to keep Zhuo Chao, let alone take his head. There may be a few of the top masters of Tianyumen who are capable of killing Zhuo Chao..."
"However, it stands to reason that such a master is the ultimate deterrent force of a sect. It takes a huge amount of resources to cultivate one. It is the pillar supporting the size of a sect and the key to making other sects dare not act rashly. They will not use it at will unless it is really critical. Can Tian Yumen send such a person to protect my brother secretly?"
"What's more, some things can't be solved by fighting and killing. Qi is not a place where Tianyumen can do whatever they want. Sending one or two such experts will not help. What kind of people you send out will eventually provoke your opponent to send out what kind of people to deal with it. Can Tianyumen invest in such people to take risks? Losing one or two such experts, Tianyumen may be seriously injured!"
Niu Youdao was noncommittal, smiled, didn't say yes, and didn't say no, he found some excuses to prevaricate.
After he and Hei Mudan bid farewell and left, Linghu Qiu lingered in the house for a long time.
"It seems that we are overthinking. There may be a first-class expert behind this guy to protect him. I said he dared to run out with just a few people!" Linghu Qiu stopped in front of the lights and muttered.
Hong Fu said coldly: "That Zhuo Chao, is he also from Xiaoyue Pavilion?"
Hongxiu: "I'm afraid I can come out and do this kind of thing. Even Zhuo Chao has used it. Niu Youdao's life is determined to win. If she misses this time, let's see what she does!"
Linghuqiu sighed softly: "How can ordinary people use a character like Zhuo Chao? This Su Zhao should have a good background in the interior. On the other hand, he can also prevent internal accountability. Otherwise, how dare we do this! All we can do is report the situation..."
The next day, accompanied by the escort of the three factions, Niu Youdao came to Liuxianzong shop again.
Shopkeeper Pan and others came to say hello upon hearing the news.
When the two parties arrived at the back hall, Niu Youdao asked, "Have you spoken?"
Shopkeeper Pan shook his head, "You're very stubborn, you won't be able to live if you say it, and you refuse to speak."
"Let's go and have a look." Niu Youdao waved his hand as a signal.
When Yiyi entered the interrogation room, he saw that the fake "Treasurer Pan" was tied to a pillar. He had been tortured in a terrified state, his body was covered in blood, and he was seriously injured. He was already very weak at this moment.
Seeing the people who came in, 'Treasurer Pan' laughed.
"Don't kill him, interrogate slowly, there will always be a time for him to speak." Niu Youdao just looked around casually, confirmed it with his own eyes, and dropped the words again.
After they returned to the back hall of the shop, Niu Youdao asked again: "Has the one who closed the Fuyunzong shop opened his mouth?"
The accompanying Floating Cloud Sect monk said: "It should not be there yet, otherwise we will let you know as soon as we have news."
Niu Youdao frowned. After paying such a high price, it didn't matter what was going on, not to mention the casualties. He personally wasted three amulets for spreading the law. Shen Sheng asked: "I can't even do this well, is there no one in the three factions?"
As soon as these words came out, it was tantamount to humiliating the three factions, and the faces of the disciples of the three factions inevitably looked a little ugly.
Shopkeeper Pan expressed dissatisfaction and said: "Master Dao, we can't say that. We tried our best, but the other party refused to speak. What can we do? In addition, he suffered such a serious injury, and he may die at any time. We can only interrogate him slowly, and find a way to break through. Didn't you just say interrogate slowly?"
Niu Youdao asked back: "You mean, let's stay here first, and wait until you gradually figure out who the opponent is, before we set off for Qi?"
There is something wrong, I don’t know when I will come back at night, the update time of the next chapter is not necessarily
